Of course not, for $75K you can't expect a wooden stool...now come on George...


Nick

It does come with a laptop to configure it though

I do not think we have the point series stored on the computer, so that means it would have to be made up by hand, well...excel...now, this being said, are there people who would be interested in seeing the points? If so let me know, and I will start on the tabulation of the results thus far this season.

Is there a hot and steamy voice on the message?

I've gone to the track many times in the past two years and didn't have much interest in racing until the track renovation and the new buggy and mini T classis. Even then I didn't seriosly consider racing until I went 2 days ago. I bought a brushless motor system for my mini T (a nice graphite chassis to go with it too) and went to the track to push it to it's limit. This one kid (the kid with the new revo) was overly excited and told me I should race, then he mentioned a mini T oval.

I wanted to know what are the limits of cells and such in this class. I bought the Comp X motor and it is almost over my head with the 8 cell, but it will kick my violator around the oval any day.

I appreciate the help.

The rules can be found on the Dirt Runners web site at www.dirtrunners.com (http://www.dirtrunners.com)

For batteries, any 4, 5 or 6 cell battery can be used (not lithium batteries). As of now, the class is broken into a modified and stock class. The modified class has been running with small and big block motors. I'm sure you would be able to run the brushless, just as long as everyone in the class was ok with it.


Nick

I'm sure Wayne will make it real hot and real steamy, Mike.

Nick

Speaking of Brushless motors, I heard that they will be made legal for ROAR racing in 2005, so I think this will also need to be discussed at the rules meeting at the challenge.

Nick

tone ur order is in 2 pairs of rpm tmaxx arms and 3 pks of b4 bushings, comes to a total of nothin

Traditionally, the limit is 6 cells iin the mini-t class.... also, when we first created the class, it was a no brushless class... but then again, thinkgs do change.... it'll be better to hear from a board member (WAYNE or whomever else) about this... i really dont see a problem w/ it (that is unless you whoop my arse - just kidding).... i mean i USED to have the fastest mini-t down the straights.... just couldnt get it around the corner too well, i had to go to 1/4 throttle - and i am only runnin a peak raider or a big block - whichever i think is good for the race... i HOPE you show up - it'll be fun......

hey ryan how much longer r u going to be gone for and does anyone know if he is racing sunday

You going to put it in all by your lonesome?

Nick

No shop on site, most people go to these 4 places, Zeppelin Hobbies in Riverdale, Cruisin' with RC in Ramsey, Crispy Critters in Totowa and Tech Toys in Parsipany.

If you need parts for associated or Losi there probably will be someone at the track that can help you out if you break anything you don't have spares for.

Also, there are some hobby shops that come up and sell some parts and things, Cruisin with RC and Crispy Critters are usually there for the Sunday Race.

Nick

which hobby shop does everyone go to? ill be going to the track for the first time sunday... and need parts! is there one onsite?
Cruizin RCs in Ramsey comes to our track every race with a deep assortment of parts for sale for many of the more popular cars and trucks, including complete RTR vehicles and fuel. If you call Cruizin at their store in Ramsey up to the day before the race with a specific parts request, they will be sure to bring it to the track for you. They also are able to take credit cards at the track up until 3pm on raceday, as they call their 'brick and mortar' store in Ramsey for authoriaztion while they're open (the store closes at 3pm Sundays). So, while there isn't a pemanent hobby shop on site, there is a lot more than just "some guys have parts with them" - we have a much better, more formal arrangement than that! Cruisin's # is (201) 825-4884, they are at 54 E Main St in Ramsey, and the owner is Ron Bosco.

In addition, as Nick said, when the guys from Critters come race, they also have some parts with them, and they too have been willing in the past to bring a part if they're coming and you call them in advance. Some of our club members also carry a lot of spares - more as a throwback to the days before Cruizin started coming to every race - so if you can't find a part, be sure to have our race director put what you need over the PA system so people can check there own stock of spares for you.

Since Sunday is your first time racing with us, be sure to stop by the race director's booth (under the drivers stand) and introduce yourself, so we can help give you the lay of the land and answer any questions you have. The weather forecast for Sunday sounds great!

ok tone so we r going up to marshals instead has anyone raced up there in this thread what tires work best and how is the track how much to racei think marshalls is SATURDAY night racing on the oval.... and sunday on the offroad... Santee, you are the one who invited me... so u tell me what the dealie is!!!

Anyways... back to the race today.... today was an INSANE race day... really was great to have SOOOOO many entries, and SOOO many new faces! seeing them 8th scale buggies reallllllly got me wanting one!
As usual, the board ran a GREAT race.... thanks to all yall for makin the day really cool... WE NEED TO GET LIGHTS!!!!!! hands down... i've got a solution to the "headlight System" currently in place.... if we could find those halogen flood light joints on a stand, i'll donate the use of my generator to power said lights for the dark periods..... i'll look on the web a little later for said lights to get an idea of said light cost.... and to all of you mini-t oval racers that i "blew the doors off of" GET THEM DAMN XRAY M18 PINIONS!!! going THIS FAST is suuuuuuch a rush, i was SOOOOO SCARED..i had freakin BUTTERFLIES and stuff... i'll post a link to the Horizon Hobbies Part # a little later... i got mine at TECH TOYS, but i also understand Cruzin has them too.... i might have to takea ride up there to check that place out.... all you guys gotta get the speed fix!!

-Tone

good race today, even better weather

Tone, thanx for letting me abuse you're volks:thumbsup: ,it was fun. could i possibly come to marshalls with you and craig?


wow, 175 entries, thats freakin ridiculous. it looks as if we are in a slight jam with time constraints. i dont think we will have quite 175 on a normal basis but as the days get shorter and the amount of entries increases it's gonna come down to either showin up earlier, or gettin lights. we didn't even have the time to water the offroad track before the mains today.

IT was a crazy day, and i have to agree with tone, we need to get some lights,

Hallster i am going to call you tom night, i am working some weird hours this week

cheezenutz, pm me that new aim sn of yours
